al Interview that is . . . with the University of Phoenix about 5 minutes from where I work at A and on the same street that Tony had his summer internship.
I’m meeting with Debbie Carpenter at 11:30 AM for about 15 minutes to find out more about the position. Here is the job posting. I think I meet the requirements. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Job Description
———————————————————————-
Job Title: Enrollment Counselor
Company: University of Phoenix
Request For Hire: 042097
Department: San Diego-Uop-Marketing
Job Code: EM058
Work Schedule: Full Time

FLSA Status: Nonexempt
Position Summary: Under general supervision, this position is responsible for advising undergraduate and graduate students regarding admissions and degree completion requirements, as well as enrolling students for the University’s graduate, undergraduate and certificate programs, requiring the use of judgment and discretion on a periodic basis. This includes developing academic plans for degree or certificate completion, following standardized University guidelines and procedures.
Required Knowledge, Skills and Ability: Must possess a general knowledge of higher education market and industry. A bachelor’s degree is strongly preferred.
Must possess a general understanding of business, education, and technology, counseling and nursing programs of study.

Must have an excellent command of professional presentation skills and be comfortable presenting to groups both large and small.
Must possess a valid driver’s license as local travel is generally required.
After Interview-Update: The company, University of Phoenix, and the position sound very exciting. But I have to say up front that I think it starts out with even lower compensation that I make now. It’s basically a sales position (recruiting new students to the University of Phoenix). But there is a potential to earn more there than I could ever earn after 25 years of teaching and even in A (I believe).
The person I met with is also a former teacher in the Poway Unified School District. She had left teaching only two years ago. She was very outgoing and very nice. I must have made good impression on her because she said that she believes that I would be great for the position and that she will put in a good word for me to her manager. This is a big plus.
